The line-up for this year's Reading and Leeds festival has been announced - and boy is it going to be a big one.

From international rock legends to the cream of the British indie scene to the very best in dance and pop, this year's summer festival double-header is sure to fill the hole left by Glastonbury as it takes a year off the scene.

Every act announced is pretty brilliant in our book, and you can read the full list of acts announced so far right here. But for those among us who prefer their festivals experience a little more selective (or perhaps just like to spend a little more time at the bar), we've picked our 20 must-see performers at Reading and Leeds 2012. Let us know what you think!
